Old Man's House

Mercury’s "Old Man’s House" was issued as the title track of the Old Man’s House EP in 2012 on Gomma Dance Tracks. The credits identify Mercury as the composer, songwriter, performer, and producer, with Melvyn Buss and Simon Baumann credited for composition and lyrics. Released on 31 May 2012, the track helped define Mercury’s soulful, gospel-tinged house approach and was pressed to the GOMMADT044 EP on Gomma Dance Tracks. It was noted in a later write-up for its unusual Southern gospel vocal sample, which gave the record a distinctive hook inside the house scene. The track continued to circulate beyond its release through DJ support and the Martin Dawson remix on the same EP. Its sample-based vocal identity gave it lasting recognition among house listeners as one of Mercury’s signature cuts.
